I appreciate your inputs, I've been to the Chicago & Northwestern Historical Society website and all the SD45s listed have the rear brake wheel, however, no close-up photos of the rear of the units. I looked through Details West and Detail Associates and they offer the wheel but not the housing which is recessed below the surface. Also, Details West offers the nose bell but not the recess. I may have to fabricate these. I did find a website in which the modeler fabricated all the pieces, other than the wheel, for the rear brake and another where the modeler is designing a brass insert for the bell, he might offer it if there are takers. Here are the links: http://www.sourwy.railfan.net/bob_southern_sd45_project1_10.htm http://www.planomodelproducts.com/cnw-sd45.html I'm still trying to find books on the UP West Line, former CNW, during the 80's. Any help would be much appreciated.
